  • hetzner-podman-bunjs-deploy

    Example of standalone application deployment to Hetzner Cloud using Rootless Podman quadlet systemd services and Ansible as IaC

  • I made even podman quadlet ansible template for that.

  • kurtosis

    A platform for packaging and launching ephemeral backend stacks with a focus on approachability for the average developer.

  • We're trying to do this at Kurtosis! (https://github.com/kurtosis-tech/kurtosis)

    The idea is to write your environment in Starlark (a minimal Python subset) and we'll handle running it on Docker or Kubernetes for you.

    We started with "reduce Kubernetes complexity" so we don't yet have the full Kubernetes ejection seat, but we're slowly marching towards it - feedback welcome!

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • flatpak

    Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework

  • No, it looks like you have to do it on an application basis.

  • podman

    Podman: A tool for managing OCI containers and pods.

  • Podman as a devcontainers engine doesn't currently work if you use devcontainer features [1] or (and this sounds like you're issue) if you use WSL2.

    I haven't submitted the WSL2 issue to the Podman team yet. If you get to it before I do, can you like it here?

  • helm-charts

    Company.info Helm charts repository (by companyinfo)

  • There's a number or solutions. One is to use a maintained Helm Library Chart that exposes all the values most could ever want like The Helmet [1]. The other is to move over to something like Timoni that is analogous to Helm but with better templating [2].

  • cdk8s-plus

    A software development framework that provides high level abstractions for authoring Kubernetes applications.
